Configuring Protocol-Independent Features
Filtering Routing Information
You can filter routing protocol information by performing the tasks described in this section.
Setting Passive Interfaces
To prevent other routers on a local network from dynamically learning about routes, you can use the
passive-interface router configuration command to keep routing update messages from being sent
through a router interface.
In networks with many interfaces, to avoid having to manually set them as passive, you can set all
interfaces to be passive by default by using the passive-interface default router configuration command
and manually setting interfaces where adjacencies are desired.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure passive interfaces:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
router rip
Step 3
passive-interface interface-id
Step 4
passive-interface default
Step 5
no passive-interface interface type
Step 6
network network-address
Step 7
end
Step 8
copy running-config startup-config
Use the show ip interface privileged EXEC command to verify the interfaces that you enabled as active.
To re-enable the sending of routing updates, use the no passive-interface interface-id router
configuration command. The default keyword sets all interfaces as passive by default. You can then
configure individual interfaces where you want adjacencies by using the no passive-interface router
configuration command. The default keyword is useful in Internet service provider and large enterprise
networks where many of the distribution routers have more than 200 interfaces.
Controlling Advertising and Processing in Routing Updates
You can use the distribute-list router configuration command with access control lists to suppress routes
from being advertised in routing updates and to prevent other routers from learning one or more routes.
You can also use a distribute-list router configuration command to avoid processing certain routes listed
in incoming updates.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to control the advertising or processing of
routing updates:
Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3020 for HP Software Configuration Guide
34-34
Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Enter router configuration mode.
Suppress sending routing updates through the specified Layer 3
interface.
(Optional) Set all interfaces as passive by default.
(Optional) Activate only those interfaces that need to have
adjacencies sent.
(Optional) Specify the list of networks for the routing process. The
network-address is an IP address.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
